A role for an experienced OT who wants autonomy without having to do it all alone.

You know how to manage a caseload. You don't need to be micromanaged. But having autonomy doesn't mean you should have to hold every complex clinical decision, administrative problem or difficult case by yourself.

At Occupationally Neuro, you'll have the freedom to work independently, with the clinical support and team around you when you need it.

We're looking for a Senior Occupational Therapist to join our Geelong team full-time.

Salary: $105,000–$120,000 + superannuation, which will be reflective of your experience and clinical expertise.

Jan 2027 start date preferred.

About Occupationally Neuro

Occupationally Neuro is a Geelong-based occupational therapy practice working in adults with neurological conditions and complex physical disability.

We provide community-based therapy that goes beyond ticking boxes. Our work includes functional assessment, cognitive rehabilitation, assistive technology, complex equipment prescription, home modifications and practical environmental solutions that help people participate more safely and independently in everyday life.

We're a small, collaborative team that values clinical depth, autonomy, honest communication and genuine occupation-focused practice.

Our reputation has largely grown through word of mouth. Participants, families, support coordinators and other clinicians come to us because we're thorough, we communicate clearly and we genuinely care about getting things right.

What we offer

  • A genuinely manageable workload: We design caseloads around quality clinical work and depth, not simply volume. And yes, we know everyone says this. We're happy to tell you exactly what our expectations look like.

  • Autonomy: We employ experienced clinicians because we trust them. You'll have ownership over your diary, clinical approach and caseload without being micromanaged.

  • Support when the work gets complex: Regular supervision, clinical case discussions and a team you can actually call when you're stuck.

  • Full-time employment with flexibility: We're looking for someone full-time, while still recognising that flexibility matters and work needs to fit around real life.

  • Interesting clinical work: Work predominantly with adults with neurological conditions and complex physical disability across NDIS, TAC, WorkSafe and private funding.

  • Professional development: Build deeper expertise in the areas that interest you, with ongoing learning and clinical support.

  • A genuinely collaborative team: We value transparency, shared learning, asking questions and helping each other without creating unnecessary hierarchy.

  • Room to grow: As Occupationally Neuro continues to grow, there are opportunities to develop into advanced clinical, education and leadership roles.

About you

You're an experienced occupational therapist who values depth over volume.

You enjoy complex clinical work and thinking about the whole person, their occupations, environment and support systems rather than simply completing an assessment and moving on.

  • value autonomy and don't need to be micromanaged

  • enjoy solving complex functional problems

  • communicate well with participants, families and multidisciplinary teams
